+Mtools and fdutils
+==================
+
+   The floppy ioctl numbering scheme has changed in 1.3.x. For
+backwards compatibility, the old numbering scheme was supported
+throughout 1.3.x. A warning will be printed in 2.0.x when the old
+numbers are used, and their use will be discontinued entirely in 2.1.x
+
+   In order to avoid trouble, you need to recompile any programs that
+emit floppy ioctls. These include mtools and fdutils. You can get
+mtools at:

+ftp://ftp.imag.fr/pub/Linux/ZLIBC/mtools/mtools-3.0.src.tar.gz
+ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/disk-management/mtools-3.0.src.tar.gz
+ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/sources/usr.bin/mtools-3.0.src.tar.gz

+You can get fdutils at:

+ftp://ftp.imag.fr/pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.3.src.tar.gz
+ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.3.src.tar.gz
+ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.3.src.tar.gz
+
+   In the future, the ioctl used by fdformat might be discontinued
+altogether. Please use superformat (included in fdutils) instead.
